Money and Shiny Things
Well I've been sitting here
For a long, long time
Just trying to figure out
How to make you mine
And if you'd just come over here
For a little while
You would see
That when I had everything
It didn't mean much to me
She got an MFA degree
But that don't mean
I can read her mind
I don't, I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took
All my money
And all my shiny things
But not my drugs
We could run away
Back to Brooklyn
And count the stars
It might take a hundred years
To get there in my broken down car
Or we could go and make a movie
You'll be czarina
And I'll be the czar
I don't, I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took
All my money
And all my shiny things
But not my drugs
Lead me there
And take your time
Cause I'm ready for the long way
It's just so hard
With these nickels and dimes
To make you love me
So, take all that you want
None of this is mine
I have got to start to find
A way to die
I don't, I don't
Have nothing at all
Nothing to give you
But my love
Baby they took
All my money
And all my shiny things
But not my drugs
